    Interesting story on peanut farming on Landline this week. I buy peanut butter made from Australian peanuts for other reasons, but it&#39;s nice to learn that that&#39;s also a really good way to avoid exposure to a toxin that sometimes sneaks in on imported peanuts (apparently every batch of peanuts harvested here is tested for it).
